Updates

To anyone who really cares, I have been working really loooong hours since the holidays and have done very little sewing. That quilt for our bed is the last one I did. I have been building up my stash this winter and have started making plans for some projects again someday.

Ended up ordering fabric to make slipcovers for my sofa pillows. Because I know some people may ask, I ordered this fabric through Warehousefabrics.com. It is called "Shoogie" and the color is Sky. The background is a cream with blue, grey, gold/tan print. I love the birds and the more modern look of this fabric, and that it has a touch of whimsy to it. It is a medium-weight (nice drape) upholstery fabric. Perfect for covering these pillows. I plan to re-cover the seats on my dining room chairs with this same fabric (as soon as I can find that darn staple gun).

I am hoping to order new blinds for the rest of the windows in our house. Long past due. I took down most of the old ones, so need to get the new one's in soon before it gets hot here in the Midwest. The blinds will likely be the last renovation project for the year. I have plans to be too busy with kids and grand-kids. We are in the process of selling a business, so that takes up a large amount of my time too. No simple endeavor, that's for sure.

I have been trying to catch up on reading some of your blogs out there. I can see many of you have been having very busy winter's as well. All those snow storms, work, illness in the family, etc. Life can just be so overwhelming at times.

Happy Spring everyone!
